Akassa Gbe

Akassa, the fermented corn dough served with a rich tomato and fish sauce, is the kind of food that makes you close your eyes on the first bite. You eat it with your right hand, pulling off a piece, dipping it, and letting the sauce soak through before the bite reaches your mouth. Every cook has their own version and every version is the right one.
